Hot Restaurant Trends

What restaurant trends are anticipated to dominate 2019? Sit back, kick up your feet and take a walk on the wild side of the restaurant industry.

Old-School French Techniques

French cooking techniques are classic and this year will see a significant return of old-school methods.

Smaller Restaurants

This year we will continue to see elevated, cozy restaurants that feature open kitchens, counter dining, tasting menus and creative menu options, proving that bigger is not always better.

Fast and Casual

One movement is combining high-quality, luxury ingredients with a fast, casual environment that caters to American’s busy lifestyles.

Dining In

More on-the-go luxury meals, meal-prep packages and a return to home cooking will be a comfort this year.

Latin American Fusion

Miami is seeing many chefs from Central and South America opening Latin American restaurants. Latin American flavors and cuisine will continue to spread across the country, which means that the foods of Cuba and Venezuela will have a far-reaching impact on our culture.

Plant-Based Entrees and Proteins

Instead of entrees just having a substitute for meat, chefs will work to create plant-based options that are complete stand-alone dishes. This will help with a lot of dietary restrictions that people may face, especially with diabetes and other weight-related illnesses playing a significant role in eating more plant-based foods.

Kelp

Sustainable and healthy, more chefs will incorporate kelp into their menus this upcoming year.

Transparent Sourcing

More Americans want to know the origins of their food, which is forcing restaurants and chefs to look at where they source their ingredients.

Is your restaurant looking to expand? Consider embracing some of these delicious food trends, while also hiring the best, brightest talent for your kitchen and staff. Even the freshest ingredients fail to shine if a kitchen can’t work together to create a cohesive dish. Furthermore, if the wait staff aren’t memorable in a positive way, this can spread like wildfire, affecting your restaurant’s bottom line.
